Apparently rising costs and declining passenger numbers mean it will be the last crossing at the end of the month |  |

Will this mean the end of the pier railway too - isn’t it the oldest pier railway ?
Shame and some are going to miss this . |  | | |

Southampton is a pale reflection these days of what it was like.
Gone
Top Rank
Bowling
Ice skating
Pier
Lido
Green Bus Station
Floating Bridge
etc etc
The High Street has no character.
We built instead
East Street Shopping Centre... gone
Bargate Shopping Centre...gone
Marlands how long will that last?
Still we have West Quay ........ [Post edited 21 Dec 2022 21:42]

A lot of city's have lost major landmarks over the years, the High Street was flattened in the war and rebuilt cheaply afterwards in times of real austerity | |

Indeed. On the night of November 30, 1940, no less than 800 high explosive bombs were dropped on the city during a 6-hour raid. Much of the city was ruined that night. |  |

Do you think the Hythe Ferry could be moved to Cowes? |  |

The demolition of the Ocean Terminal was a philistine act of cultural and historical vandalism. | | | |

The demolition of the Rank Hovis building was a shame,I'm sure that could have been put to good use. | | | |

What a shame, yet another interesting and enjoyable old school things to do.
Over the years I've taken both my sons for trips across to Hythe on the ferry and then the little Pier Train. An interesting and quirky little thing that Southampton should be proud of and should be promoting, not allowing it to disappear. | | | |
